The elbow and wrist joints are identical to those on the car Vehicon. The elbows aren't too bad once shave off one side of the ball joint cup so that you can straigten it out more instead of having it cocked out to the side. I did that on my car Vehicon and it looks a lot better. I'll do the same to my Jet Vehicons.

Ah! Got it. Haven't opened my car Vehicon yet ( ) but I will do that when I open it. Thanks for the info.

You're welcome . Just be careful not to take out too much of the socket's cup/edge, otherwise it won't hold the ball joint in place any more. I did mine by cutting out a small triangular/pie-shaped piece and then gradually/cautiously filed it out to widen it bit by bit with a needle file.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I am that which is, which was, and is yet to come.

And you will know my name is MEGATRON when I lay my vengeance upon you!

Yup the jet vehicon is mis-transformed, they forgot 1 step which is to rotate the back wings (kibble) up into a slot, it looks really nice. (hopefully you guys can see it from my crappy photos) I highly recommend if anyone could get this to get it. It is a really cool figure and I'm kinda sad I've only ordered 2..

Not that we know of.

Come on Hasbro, don't balls this one up! The regular ones sold like hotcakes, these will too!!

How? They've barely showed up at the stores.

And were the first things gone from shelves, ask anyone who hunted for them.

I've hunted for them. Diligently. Yet, no hide or hair of them have shown up at any of my stores (8 Wal-Marts, 6 Targets, 2 Kmarts, 1 TRU, and a Kohls). Just the same darn DOTM Deluxes/Voyagers, Bot Shots, Prime masks, and Prime BBs that no one wants to buy.

Same here

THE POWERS OF DARKNESS ARE A MORE POWERFUL WEAPON THAN ALL THE TOYS YOUR SCIENCE CAN MUSTERDie, Autobots!

At this point, I'm not too worried. There was remarkably little in the way of new information on the Prime line announced at BotCon. And, yet, it's pretty clear that this line will continue through at least next year. I have a hard time believing that Voyager Dreadwing, Ultra Magnus, and Thundertron (and maybe Skyquake) will be the extent of new figures this year, let alone next. No new Deluxes? Not likely.

And even if it doesn't happen this year, it could easily happen next year. There's plenty of time for this one to make it to the US.
